I have been doing home urine monitoring with my cat who is prone to urinary
blockage. In my home tests (using reagent strips) I am regularly finding a
high positive for leukocytes (white blood cells). Testing at my vet's
office confirms this using reagent strips. The ph is also high ...

I just got back from the vet and needed a second+ opinion.
My cat's weight in late November '04 was around 17.5 lb and she now
weighs 19 lb. - she's around 4 or 5 years old.
I usually feed her 3 scoops of food (IAMS Hairball care) per day (about

One of my two neutered male cats was recently diagnosed with a urinary
tract blockage.  So my vet prescribed "Urinary SO 30" by Royal Canin.
Its kind of pricey.  Up to now my cats have enjoyed a diet of purina
cat chow, supplemented occasionally with treats.

I've asked many questions about Moses, our IBD cat, so let's give
Bartholemew, our quite healthy orange tabby, equal time.
I mentioned that I'd gotten some samples of various high quality cat food
from an online retailer. Some was canned, which was pretty much for Moses

I just noticed one of kitty's eyes looks milky.  Her other eye looks
normal.
She seems to be acting normal - any ideas what this could be?

I've gotten started with our local trap/spay/return cat rescue
organization.  On Monday I trapped one of the cats I've been feeding
outside, and took her to be spayed.  She was a little upset when I
first found her in the have-a-heart trap, but settled down quickly and

I'm done.
I'm so demoralized about Henry. He's one of 20,000+ strays in my area
that I decided to take an interest in.. who would otherwise end up
euthanized in CO2 chambers at the local Humane Society.

African Serval of 28 lbs and 2 years old just jumped into a fish tank and
bleeding everywhere.   Only 2 months ago had 0.13 mL of thy***  -10 min
wait- then 0.3 mL of Ketocet  in muscle(don't know spelling, voicemail
numbers from our vet back home).

My 6 year old short-haired calico, Fiona, has not been acting herself
recently. I'm very worried about her, but her vet does not seem to know
what is wrong. Here are all of her particulars:
Fiona is a strictly indoor cat. She is spayed.

My almost-6 year old orange and white boy, Louie, has started some very
strange behavior. He will lie down and keen very loudly as if he is in
pain or is frightened, and if I try to stand him up, his front legs
collapse and splay out in front of him in what seems to be an unnatural

I have a young, indoor cat who is about three years old.  He seems
healthy in all respects but sometimes when playing he gets carried away
and I wonder whether it's possible for him to do himself harm?
For example this morning, he was chasing a toy on a string for about 20

In a previous post I read that a poster's vet "knocked out" a kitty
before delivering the fatal injection. This is a new idea to me.
After many cats put down behind closed doors, I stayed with Abbey for
her euthanasia (due to quickly spreading malignant mammarian tumors).

I just did a quick google on those 2 words and came up with some really
interesting articles.

Since I've never owned a cat before, I'm wondering how often should
claws be trimmed.
She's an indoor cat probably about 8 months old (I've had her for 6 1/2
- I took her in because I thought it was too hot outside in August for

We're wanting to adopt another cat to keep Sushi company. We think that
getting a kitten less than 6 months old is the way to go, because
there's a better chance everyone will get along. I've read about
introducing them slowly, which we'll certainly do.
